I was hacked

Hello Everyone,

Just a quick note to tell you that my server was reformatted by hackers,
and all of my 200+ websites have been erased!

To make matters worse, the hackers changed my backup settings over
3 months ago, undetected. So I have no backups either besides whatever
is on my local pcs....

That's 4 years of work down the drain, a real headache as you can imagine.

The "good" news is that I have another server being setup with a new provider,
and will be able to start over.

I've often told my readers that no matter what happens, if everything burned to
the ground...that a guy could start over with "just" his opt-in list.

Now I get to put that into action, and will be reporting my "comeback" to
you along the way. :-)

Thanks for all your well wishes and support - that means a lot to me folks.

So it's not the end of the world, just an expensive lesson learned - and
a chance to start over "fresh".

Happy Holidays my friends!
John In support of our comback
GETTINGGODSATTENTION.COM WAS JUST LAUNCHED.

So sorry to hear that John. But can you not do at least a partial restore with the backups you had on your local PCs?

Good luck and all the best,

Rob
